Collection of Forensic Data After a Processor Freeze

2. The information handling system of claim 1, further comprising a memory within the embedded controller, the embedded controller further to set a freeze flag within the memory to store the indication to perform the processor freeze recovery.

3. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the embedded controller further to toggle a platform reset signal, wherein the toggled platform reset signal starts a restart of the processor.

5. The information handling system of claim 4, wherein the BIOS further to read the error register statuses without deleting the error register statuses.

6. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the trigger event is a power button of the information handling system being pressed for a predetermined amount of time.

7. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the trigger event is a detection of a hotkey/combination input on a keyboard of the information handling system.

8. The information handling system of claim 1, wherein the trigger event is a determination that a plurality of periodic ping commands are not associated with a plurality of ping responses.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising setting a freeze flag within a memory to store the indication to perform the processor freeze recovery.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising toggling a platform reset signal, wherein the toggled platform reset signal starts a restart of the processor.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising reading, by the BIOS, the error register statuses without deleting the error register statuses.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the trigger event is a power button of the information handling system being pressed for a predetermined amount of time.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the trigger event is a detection of a hotkey/combination input on a keyboard of the information handling system.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the trigger event is a determination that a plurality of periodic ping commands are not associated with a plurality of ping responses.
